I've been plunking around with this.  I tried what may be a brute force method: change the permissions of /dev/ttyS14.  But /dev/ttyS14 is a link to /dev/tts/14.  I now see that is a devfs rendering?  I thought I do not have support for devfs, and I am trying to use something  else.

Anyway, is it possible my problems are related to this issue?

I see that the "Cannot open /dev/ttyS14: device or resource busy" message is a common one.  And there are almost as many proposed solutions as there are instances.  There surely would be an easy way to do such a simple thing?   Nothing works for me.

Thanks for that tip.  I'll try that.  I like to have as many back-ups as
I can get.  If it were not for bad luck, I would have no luck at all.
Well, there is the exception of my girlfriend.  She is the best thing,
person, to happen yet.
